Season 10 of Overwatch 2 is almost here, and we are all excited to see what it brings. Blizzard has already released more details about the upcoming Battle Pass and new game modes. Additionally, Season 10 will kick off with the Mirrorwatch Event, which introduces the Overwatch multiverse, where good guys turn bad and bad guys turn good. The event brings some very cool and unique skins for champions like Doomfist, Reinhardt, Tracer, Widowmaker, and Mercy, who are receiving the Mythic skin of the season.
In addition to all the exciting cosmetics and features of Season 10, Blizzard has teased a special upcoming skin for Hanzo. Check out all the details about Hanzo's new appearance and more!

Hanzo New OWCS Skin
Hanzo is one of the Overwatch heroes with the most available skins. After his Cupid Hanzo skin in Season 9, he was chosen as the first hero to receive a special skin for the inaugural Overwatch Champion Series (OWCS). Hanzo's OWCS skin will be available on May 31st.
We have limited details about the skin apart from its appearance. With its dark blue hair and skin, Hanzo has a distinctly demonic look. It's safe to assume that the skin will feature vibrant and impressive effects for his abilities.
The price is still unknown, but we speculate it might be similar to other exceptional Overwatch skins, such as the Pacific and Atlantic All-Stars ones, which were sold for 2,600 OWL tokens or $119.99 USD.

How Fans Reacted to the New Hanzo Skin
The response from the Overwatch community was overall positive, as everyone was excited to see another well-designed Hanzo skin. Some fans even described it as better than his Mythic skin from Season 7. We expect that many players will be eager to equip the skin as soon as it becomes available.
After seeing the skin, players began pointing out similarities between Hanzo's OWCS skin and other popular characters like Sasuke from Naruto, Sonic, and more. Accurate comparisons between these characters lead some to believe that the skin might be part of another collaboration between Overwatch and another show. Although this has yet to be confirmed, we believe the skin will be released as a unique cosmetic rather than as part of a themed collection.
